Indoor Fun

Titanic Museum 3235 76 Country Blvd & Hwy 165 Branson
This evening my 8 year old grandson and I went to visit the Titanic in Branson. This was his first visit and my second. When you arrive you are given a card with the name of an actual passenger and then find out at the end whether you survived or perished. One of the first experiences is an iceberg you can touch. Later on the tour there is a container with 28 degree water-the same temperature as the Atlantic- and a timer to see how long you can leave you hand in it. Carter made it 30 seconds! Another neat display is an area with decks at three different degrees of slant and you can try to stand on them. Currently, the actual violin from the Titanic is on display. There is a recreation of the grand staircase and of a lifeboat. There are staff members throughout the museum that give little talks and answer questions. You get audio tour devices that have information for both adults and children. We spent about 1 1/2 hours and went through the entire thing twice. Both of our passengers lived! We had a really nice time, everything was very interesting, all the staff were terrific and Carter is eager to go back.
